Never put gasoline in a diesel engine.
The jury is still out on the long-term effects on a good heated WVO system.
On just blending WVO with diesel or gasoline you might get 25 to 50K out of your engine.
If you want to run WVO you need a 2 tank system. One tank with diesel and the other a tank with a heater installed in it. You need to start on diesel and get the engine warmed up before switching to WVO and then switch back to diesel before shutting down the engine.

One setup I am considering is to run off-road diesel combined with vegtable oil on a 50/50 ratio. Will this ratio require additional diesel additive to boost the cetane level or am I ok as it is?
The next set-up is mixing vegtable oil with kerosene, unleaded fuel, diesel additive and running through a filter system. If thinned properly so as to not clog anything, is there any long-term effects to the engine that I should be aware of?
Thanks
